In 2023, the Town introduced a new event for residents to meet and interact with Council. S.P.A.R.C. (Speak. Participate. Act. Reach and Connect) in the Park returns on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Harbourview Park.
This event is intended for residents living in the north-central part of Town, however, all are welcome. There will be family-friendly activities such as the Awen’ Waterplay facility, a fire truck, and the Collingwood Public Library’s Book Bike! A cool treat will be provided to those who attend and don’t forget your water bottle, as the Quench Buggy will be on site with fresh, cold Collingwood water. Leashed pets are welcome to attend on the grassy area but are not permitted in the Awen’ Waterplay. Walking and wheeling are encouraged as parking is limited.
"Whether you’re new to Town or have been here a long time, come out with your family and enjoy a fun evening with us at Harbourview Park. Members of Council are looking forward to meeting and mingling with everyone in an informal setting, while enjoying an ice cream. And for those who want to see one of our fire trucks up close - this is for you!," says Mayor Yvonne Hamlin.
The rain date for S.P.A.R.C. in the Park is Wednesday, July 24, and will be communicated on the Town’s news and notices page of the website. Subsequent S.P.A.R.C. event details are to be determined. If you have feedback for this event including ideas for future Council & Community events, please email communications@collingwood.ca.
